This study explored tactile retention by children with attention-demanding and modality-specific distractors. (Author)

The purpose of this experiment was to determine if the verbal system is involved in coding pictorial reresentations when the task requires the acquisition of their relative order. (Author)

The present experiments were designed to obtain further information on the forgetting of verbal items from STS when the interpolated activity is a very attention-demanding nonverbal task. (Author)

Presents a review of various studies on the acquisition, nature, and function of language coding in children's learning. (TO)

Fifth graders were asked to learn 32 syntactically varied semantically unrelated sentences containing combinations of agentive, objective, and instrumental case relations. Results were discussed in terms of ways to store sentences. (ST)

Article investigated the relations between the types of error and their connections with auditory discrimination and auditory memory. (Editor/RK)

Investigates kindergarteners, and third graders' ability to identify novel and repeated visual stimuli. A continuous recognition memory task technique is used. Examines children's ratings of confidence in their decisions by using standardized photographs of peers expressing varying degrees of certainty. (DP)

Study suggested that a new research orientation be followed, that is, in addition to studying to learn the investigator of memory should start to establish the empirical laws of learning to forget. (Editor/RK)

This study examined those characteristics of a sequence to which children respond when they are presented with partially learnable sequences followed by a series of trials on which all responses are correct. (Author/RK)

The data from this study support the hypothesis that the encoding of a letter, as well as operations associated with responding, requires attention in the sense of processing capacity. (Author)

The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether two dimensions of a single auditory stimulus are processed as competing channels of information, and if they are, whether S can selectively attend to one dimension specified at the beginning of a trial. (Author)

This article describes one experiment which tests a prediction from their explanation and another experiment which attempts to measure directly the amount of unlearning and spontaneous recovery-more generally, the availability-of competing responses. (Author)

Normal and retarded children's use of color, number, length and continuous quantity as attributes of identification was assessed by presenting them with contrived changes in three properties. Surprise and correct memory responses for color preceded those to number, which preceded logical verbal responses to a conventional number-conservation task.…
